perspectives</h3>
<P CLASS="Para">In this tutorial we have seen how to add new views to our
perspective, rearrange the views and convert views into fast views. The
workbench also allows you to save this layout for future use.</P>

        Notice the Repositories view is stacked with the Outline. Originally
        when we first started the workbench it was stacked with the Navigator,
        but because we saved the perspective with Repositories and Outline
        stacked, it now considers this its initial layout.&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>

probably hoping there is some way to get back the original layout. To reset the
Resource perspective to its original layout proceed as follows:</p>
